.com If imaginative play is a child's most important work, Kipper: Imagine That! will give kids plenty of ideas to work with in this sweet compilation of seven Nick Jr. episodes, based on the books by British author-illustrator Mick Inkpen. Compared by some to Eric Hill's Spot, Kipper is a floppy-eared, good-natured puppy drawn in simple lines and pastel hues. During this one-hour program, Kipper and pals turn ordinary playthings into imaginative adventures. In one story, a tattered rope becomes a circus trapeze; in another, a tree trunk morphs into a pirate's cove. Later, a bouquet of balloons gives rise to lofty imaginings. Young viewers will be inspired to create their own fanciful frolics (magic shows, costume parties, and carnival games) when they hear Kipper's kindly encouragement to "give it a go." Messages of courtesy and cooperation are sprinkled throughout these comfortably paced tales, which are all in a day's work for youngsters ages 2 to 6. --Lynn Gibson From the Back Cover Meet Kipper, a loveable dog with a big imagination. Today's the day to join Kipper, Tiger, Jake, Pig and Arnold in their wondrous world of magic and fun. When Kipper and his friends let their imagination soar, they discover new places to go and exciting things to do-but they also encounter some interesting problems! Kipper's travels take him on one adventure after another, from a magical balloon trip with a sweet surprise to an island where the friends become marooned. And you won't want to miss the fun at Kipper's magic show-but what happens when Arnold mysteriously disappears? Whether it's a trip to the fair, a costume party, or a day at the circus, everyday with Kipper is an extraordinary one! Imagine how much fun you'll have with Kipper and his friends!

Sweet simple calming
Kipper is a timeless favorite. The British accent on these pups is so charming. They use proper speech, no slang which is refreshing and a good example of how to effectively communicate. It is a gentle reminder for me as an adult as well.

Good clean show. Appropriate for very young children.
This is the very first thing we purchased for our first grandbaby. It was our son's, the baby's daddy's favorite.

always a hit
We cannot get enough Kipper. My son has loved it since he was one and still does as a 3 and a half year old. Yes, there is that scary dragon one, which my son gets scared of, too. However, my son really relates to Kipper and his friends. He reenacts the scenarios in his spare time and even the scary stories seem to help him deal with his own fears. He will pretend, kind of relive the story in such a way that I think he is processing his fear and how to respond to it. Kipper is the best there is. No other video character comes close. We love the books, too.

Too Scary, Many Better Kipper Choices Out There
This is not our favorite of the Kipper videos, and if you are a parent that tries hard to screen out today's violent and nightmare-causing kid's shows, you would be angry at the content of this particular video.The episode in which Kipper finds a lamp (British for Flashlight, I guess) and Kipper goes to buddy Tiger's house and they discover the secret staircase which leads up endlessly and then finally to the top where they meet the ugly fire-breathing dragon that tries to breath fire at them was shockingly scary for my 3 yr old son and shocking for me as a parent. My son had nightmares about dragons for weeks after watching this and to this day will cautiously ask to see this video (because he likes the other episodes) and then wants me to be on stand-by, ready to skip over the "scaaary-dragon" episode. Needless to say, this video has just disappeared from our video collection.What a complete contradiction to the other cute, gentle, adorable Kipper videos. As a parent that tries so hard to keep tabs on today's frightening, violent, abusive, foul kid's shows, I had established a fool-hearty level of trust in Kipper since we own so many of their other great light-hearted videos. It re-affirmed for me the importance of always scrutinizing even the most innocent appearing shows.If you are looking for more sweet, innocent, captivating, and fun Kipper videos, I would highly recommend Fun in the Sun, Pools Parks & Picnics, Playtime, and Let it Snow over this one. A couple episodes on the latter-mentioned videos do utter the word "stupid", which I am not altogether pleased with, but we skip those and/or we have a talk about "naughty words" to deal with that. At least none of the videos I mentioned score sleepless nights for our family.

Great show before napping or bed.
My 6 yr old niece loved this. All the character voices are super soft and kind. I turned this on and was able to play a hand held in peace while my niece just laid quietly on the couch before bed. It was sooooooo nice to find a calming video for her. I'm sure I'll put it on again the next time I babysit or have her sleep over.

Kipper is Excellent and safe to let children watch alone or together.
My grandson really enjoys seeing Kipper and we are trying to track down other Kipper episodes as usually there are only 6 or 7 on each DVD and with approx. over 60 episodes broadcast it is quite a task. Most of the DVD's are only available as region one (1 NTSC) and from the states but as many of the DVD's listed don't show each episode title it makes the selection that much more difficult. We really enjoy watching these simple tales together and it doesn't matter how many times he sees them it still is something that makes his day .Quality is excellent as was the speedy delivery and price was more realistic than some other listings so well done to all concerned hence the 5 stars rating.
